テールズ
Non-Japanese names are usually written in the phonetic katakana alphabet in Japanese, which although generally unable to reproduce the exact pronunciation of English words, comes as close as possible with the Japanese set of available characters.
So Tails would be written as テールズ and pronounced as teeruzu.
The word "tail(s)," by the way is 尻尾 (shippo)

In case you haven¥'t seen people¥'s comments to my answer, the alternative spelling of テイルズ (Teiruzu), which I forgot to mention, seems to be favored over テールズ, although it¥'s a personal choice.
